Group Rankings: Top Trios
FOR A COMPLETE PREVIEW OF THE 2009-2010 SEASON, CLICK HERE
In addition to a solid inside-outside combo, which many teams have, the thing that sets apart the elite from the also-rans is that third option. Opponents can set up a game plan to shut down the top two players, but it is nearly impossible to contain a solid troika. When teams that have three outstanding players are hitting on all cylinders, they usually don't lose. Here are the top trios heading into the season:

2. Purdue: E'Twaun Moore, Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson

7. Michigan State: Kalin Lucas, Durrell Summers, Raymar Morgan
8. Washington: Abdul Gaddy, isaiah Thomas, Quincy Pondexter

Utah State: Jared Quayle, Tai Wesley, and Tyler Newbold
wow, no OSU? Turner, Lighty & Buford
no Duke? Singler, Smith, and Scheyer all averaging over 15 points. The highest scoring trio in the country and they are not even on your list.
